    Pumpkin Pie Recipe - do you have a killer one?

    Yeah, it's not super healthy, but better than a lot of other things. It's chocolate/ hazelnut made w/ skim milk & cocoa.

    Oh my gosh, are you kidding me?? I broke my toe in April and am just getting over a calf/ achilles injury now!!! :eek: I stick to the elliptical and swimming when I've had injuries in the past. Low impact and still able to get in a good workout. I was even able to modify pushups by using...

    I also use the one from the Libby's can but add a little more spice than called for. I also use some brown sugar instead of all white sugar. I make my own crust (Grandma's recipe) and always get tons of compliments on my pumpkin pies at the holidays! Now who has a to die for recipe for...

    Pumpkin Pie Recipe - do you have a killer one?

    Never heard of Nutella? It's my 7yo's favorite thing to eat w/ a banana. :p It's with the Peanut butter, right by my Naturally More PB at Super Wal*mart. I would think most grocery stores carry it. HTH!

    Anyone have friends who workout?

    Good idea! I thought that was a good book. It seems I can get my friends to walk or do some cardio, but weight training just seems to scare them! :rolleyes: One of these days, I hope to get them lifting!!

    Anyone have friends who workout?

    I'm lucky that I have 4 good running/ biking buddies, but most of them aren't into weight training. They're more just cardio queens. ;) I've gotten a lot of my family/ friends into working out and trying to eat healthier except for my IL's. I try, but it just doesn't seem to help...

    did you vote already?

    I did!!! Took my 5yo who is home sick w/ a cold w/ me. She was so excited to help me fill in the circles. ;) She got to vote at school y'day and came home all excited about it. We voted at a local church and there was no line, but I live in a small town!! :p I would have been out in about 5...

    Flu Shot

    My 3 dd's and I all had the flu shot about 10 days ago. I have gotten it for the last few years and my 9yo got it last year. Unfortunately, we ALL had the flu last year, since it was a different strain but I had a very mild case (I'm sure it was because I had the shot!). Our insurance pays...

    ?

    Yes, stress can make you lose your hair. My Mom had this happen to her when she got divorced (from my dad). It's strange because I have the thickest head of anyone that I know, seriously. My Mom had some bald spots for a while, then she found out she was anemic also and went on iron pills...

    FAGE!

    Love it!! I wish it weren't so darned expensive!! $1.79 a carton! I buy it at Meijer here or the Oikos brand Greek style yogurt at Super Wal*mart. It's in with the other yogurts. It's soooo yummy and creamy. I like it mixed w/ 1 Tablespoon of Naturally More Peanut butter and sprinkled with...

    What are you doing to NOT Eat Halloween Candy Today/Tonight...??

    I made a goal this year that I will NOT eat it. Not *one* piece. I know, it seems harsh but for me it works. Once I start... I can't stop!! White crack, I tell ya. It helps that I'm taking the kids Trick or Treating so I'll be getting exercise walking around the block. ;) Then after we get...
